I am reading Nurture Shock. I shared the chapter about lieing the other day. There is a chapter on effort that really holds my interest. It promotes the research that states effort is far more important for success than innate ability. So far, I would rate this non-fiction book as an 8because even though it is non-fiction, the writer is entertaining and sometimes funny. I really like reading research - especially when it relates to learning and the brain.

A great series of books that I have read in the past-and am currently reading-is the Alex Rider series. It is perfect for anyone who loves spies, action, and evil rich guys who try to take over the world.
I am reading The Sitsterhood of the Traveling Pants. This book is about four girls that are best friends. They all leave somewhere for the summer and are trying to keep in touch. A day before they all had to go there seperate ways for the summer, they found a magical pair of pants that fits everyone of them even though they are all different. They each get a turn with these pants for a couple of weeks. So many unexpected things happen within the first week and it is goping to take a whole lot of getting used to for the girls.
Alta Kaster- I love the book "the lost hero". I recomend this book because it is a book that sort of teaches you about the greek mythology gods and goddesses. it is also a great page turner. I rate this book a 9.
ya like jimmy said, the alex rider series is really good. they actually made a movie about the first.
The triology The Hunger games are realy great. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate it at a 8 overall. For the most part it's action filled and interesting. Some times it can be boating and predictibal. I would highly recomed this book!
I am reading 2 books at the time. One book is called Snake Head. It is the 7th book of Alex Rider Series. That series is about a 14year old boy who gets turned int a spy. It's a great series if you like spies and rich people who die dramaticaly because they wanted to destroy the world..I would rate it a 9 1/2. The other one is called Rise of the Evening star. It's about 2 children on a magical preserve. I would rate it a 8.
Matai
what is the hunger games about ive heard its really good
I'm reading all the Narnia books. This week, I'm reading Price Caspian. This book deserves a 8 because once you know the characters you will feel like you are a part of the adventure. The book starts with a prince living with his evil aunt and uncle. He hears stories from his nurse about old narnia and she gets fired and then a dwarf-man comes and tells him even more about narnia and then his uncle wants to kill him......... too be continued

I am a Hunger Games maniac! I L0VE THEM!!! It is a fast paced book that will have you hanging on to the edge of your seat! This book is slow in the beginning but quickly picks up the pace. This book is about a girl named Katniss that is launched into the capital and forced to part take in the cruel Hunger games. It is a fight to the death on live TV. I would give this book a 9.99 due to the slow beginning. Best Book Ever!
Hey i do not like reading to much so what would be a good series from luke
i loved the hunger games, it was full of actoin.
I am reading a book called hitch it is a book about a 17 year old kid named Moss Trawnley who is fired from his job as an airport custodian and finds his way to montana where he is enrolled in the ccc (Cavillian Conservation Corps, where he helps clean up americcas dust bowl) He then works his way throuugh training camp and passes up an opurtunity to work in the grand canyon, instead he helps build a camp for other ccers with his new friends Sam,Nate,Richard(Romeo because he doesn't like girls one bit and he has six sisters),and Durgan (Apple because he loves apple pie). Will the guys build the camp in six weeks or will they fail to succeed. I would rate this book a 7 and 3/4. If you wan't to find out I would either check it out or keep listening.
If you have not read the Narnia series than you half to! It is Great and action filled fantasy. It has every thing a good book should have. There are six books, but they are fairly short. I would rate theme an nine on the scale.
I just finished reading the pretty little liars series. It was really a good series because it just made me keep reading. although it is a really good book, it has some language that you might want to check with your parents about. i rate these books a 9
Matai was talking about the book "Rise of the Evening Star". This is part of the book series "Fablehaven". it is about two children who learn that their grandparents of a magical preserve filled with fairies, satyrs, giants, and much more. Read it if you get a chance.
In the Narnia Series (this took me 2 minutes to write....oops!!!)There are seven books. to be continued from theboat2000 (I didn't know this was me!! Oh also, this is Lana!!!) Him Price Caspian. So he runs away to the forest and runs into a tree so he is knocked out. Then some Purebred-Dwarfs save him and show him Old Narnia. (Lots of talking animals and trees) Then, Old Narnia and Prince Caspian go to war with Caspian's Uncle.
I don't want to spoil the rest so READ THIS!!!!!
By the way this is Lana
I just realized you can edit you post after you publish your post :(
If you want a happy story read Winnie he Pooh!
In case you were wodering, The books of the Alex Rider series are
Stormbreaker
Point Blanc
Skeleton Key
Eagle Strike
Scorpia
Ark Angel
Snakehead
Crocodile Tears
Anthony Horowitz, the author of this series, also has a series called "The Gatekeepers". This is about kids who have special talents, suck as seeing the future, heeling, and mind reading, among others. I would rate it a 7 or 8.
Luke- there are lots of good series out there so if you just keep browsing the library I'm sure you'll find one. but just in case here are a few.
Alex Rider
Hunger Games
Fablehaven
Artemis Fowl-Which was written by some one whos last name is also Colfer, although I'm not sure how we're related.
The Red Pyramid series is one of the best book series in the world! It is action packed and filled with Egyptian gods! The second book, The Throne of Fire is my favorite. Sadie and Carter (the main characters) sail down a river and fight an evil god that will end the world, or save it. I would definitely recommend this book for any one who is interested in mythology.
Oh, by the way, I rate the Red Pyramid a 9.5ish
I have also read the red pyramid it is really good. I want to read the second book
Alta-I also love The Lost Hero! I love Rick Riordan, I absolutely love his mythology theme!
Another good series is the 39 clues. they started making the books a long time ago, so i'm sure that many people have read them, but they are action packed and fun to read. an interesting fact is that they are all by different authors. after the 39 cules series ends, it turns into a different series with the same characters. i wonder if it will ever end.
I agree with Annika. rick riordan is awesome.
Jimmy- you should totally get the second book, or I own it, you can borrow it.
a great book to read is tentacles by roland smith who is another great author the book really grabs you. Another series that i have found interesting is the keys to the kingdom series by garth nix. it is about another teenage hero who has to save the world (these kind of books seem to be popping up everywhere), although this one is more fantasy. also if you are in to sports check out mike lupica.
the artemis fowl series is-i bet you guessed it-about another teenager, this time a rich criminal mastermind, who is not striving to save the human race, but the fairies. but these are no ordinary fairies. they have technology that we have not even began to dream of. by the way annika, i plan on getting that book
I guess you have all read this but, Harry Potter? I have gotten pretty far in the series, I love it! If you haven't read it already, GO TO THE LIBRARY!
Just in Case, This is Lana
Hi! i have like two more AWESOME books that i just read. first of all i wannna recomend Dead end in norvelt. it is about this small town, alot like steamboat but in the 60s. so anyway, there is this boy and he acidently shoots a rifle so then he gets grounded for the summer. then his old lady neighboor calls and says that she needs him to help her write obits. (the history of recently dead people) and well ya you can see where that ends up.overall i would give it an 8ish. the second recomendation is a seires.i just finished them and they ROCK! so the first book is called the name of this book is a secret and once you read that one it tells you the title to the next one so hopefully i wont have to type all the titles. ok so this seires is about the secret, not just any secret, the secret. so there are these two orgainisations fighting over it, one good one bad. so then these three kids get adopted into the good orainization and are launched into some pretty epic adventures. i would rate these seires a 9ish.
Right now I am reading a series called The Winnie Years. I am on the last book in the series Thirteen Plus One. I love the entire series! I rate this particular book a 9.5.
Just so you know, the first book in The Winnie Years is Ten (this is my least favorite in the series). I would rate it about a 6. After Ten, are Eleven and Twelve. These were my two favorites. The final two are Thirteen and Thirteen Plus One. I would rate the series a 10. Happy reading :)!
hello first one to blog today
What is The winnie years about,Eva?
If anyone was wondering why I posted so much, it's because I like to read.
has any buddy read the danal x series?
hi guys
There is a series called the Artemis Fowl series. It's about a 12 year old boy who finds out about a farie civilization. Must Read!!
Tanner- The Winnie Years are about as you can guess a girl named Winnie. Until the last book each chapter is another book in her life. It is kind of like a narrated diary of everything that happens.
I just finished reading the invention of hugo cabret. It was really good. It is about a boy named Hugo who lives in the train station. He desperately believes that a broken automaton that his father left him will save his life. Will it? This book has over 240 pictures and is really well written. I deffinately recomend it.
Daniel X is Good!
WHAT IS A GOOD BOOK TO READ:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
The Winnie The Pooh series is all about Winnie the pooh and what he does in his life and all the problems he overcomes.
My latest reading on Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is that Carmen, one of the four "sisters", went to her dad's for the summer. Her mom and dad got divorced. It turned out that her dad is getting remarried and didnt tell her until she got there. She freaked out on him. she is starting to open up to the othere kids though but she is still upset.

what the heck is alex rider all about and why does everyone like it. ps if it is about dragons count me OUT!
Hey everyone, it's Renee. I am reading Dead or Alive. It is the best book ever, and it's by Tom Clancy, and its about a terrorist captured in a war. Every one should read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi it's Jackie. I'm reading Tentacles and it's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have Currently finished a book called The Gray Wolf Throne. Some of you may recognize the author. Cinda Williams Chima. She is by far one of my favorite authors. Her books are full of action and fantasy.
I am reading the best series ever! There's the Tiger's Curse, The Tiger's Journey and The Tiger's Voyage. It's an adventure romance series. I loved every single one! it's definetly a page turner. Read these books if you love excitment, suspense and romance!
annika- what type of book r u reading now?
Zoe-The Alex Rider series has nothing to do with dragons!! It is about a teenage spy who M16 (the british version of the CIA) uses to do all their dirty work for them. He does things like flying in airforce one with a guy who wants to launch all the U.S.'s nuclear missles. He saves the world multiple times, yet no one knows about it. I think that everyone should read it.
Hi everybody. I forgot to mention that Smiley Face is me. I seriously think that Cinda Williams Chima is a really good author. Luke if you like books that are full of action and somewhat violent then you'll like this author. if you want to read one of her books i suggest you start with the warrior heir.
Also, do any of you mind specifying which Zoe you're talking/typing to because I get a bit confused.
My Absolute favorite book is Girl in Translation. I LOVE this book until about chapter 14. Then this book is terrible. I give his book a 9 and 20/19 until chapter 14.
hi i read a book called the Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. it is a classic and is very good. It is about a girl named Mary Lennox. She is mean and her mother hates her. She is moving to a place on the English moors to live with a relative....
I just finished reading Thirteen Plus One(the last book in The Winnie Years). This was the best book ever! In this book Winnie and her friends go to a camp to help save baby sea turtles. Everything about it is awesome! Whoever likes drama type books, this is the series for you! (P.S. who is theboat2000 if this is you please respond)
Oh, by the way i rate it about a 8.9!
I know this series has been recommended quite a bit. I have just started Fablehaven. I'm on the second book, already. I'd probably rate the first book a 9.5/10.
Oh Eva I forgot to mention that I have read that series before. Sorry to say, it wasn't one of my favorites.

Hi everyone it's Renee. the enternet is working! Anyways am reading Tentacles at home, too. hey Jackie, when your done with your Tenctacles, I can bring the first book of the series. Has anyone other than me and Jackie read the O'harra series? It's pretty easy, but I can't put it down. I think it's for anyone who knows how to read!I rate it at about and 9. I love it!
I just started reading the son of neptune, the 2nd book of the heros of olympus series. I have not read much of it but it is great from what I read. I would rate it 9.5 along with the rest of Rick Riordan's books! I you have not read this series; then it is a must!
